From September 2010 to July 2011, the Actors’ NET of Bucks County presents our ambitious 15th Season— a bold, mixed bag of exciting and thought-provoking shows. Always involving. Always pure Actors’ NET!

12 Angry Men: By Reginald Rose. Sept. 24—Oct. 10, 2010: The compelling drama about a deadlocked jury. One man’s quest for simple justice leads his fellow jurors to confront their own lives and prejudices.

Cat On a Hot Tin Roof. By Tennessee Williams. Oct. 29—Nov. 14, 2010: "The steamy American classic about exploding passion amid family turmoil by Tennessee Williams."

Once Upon a Mattress: Musical by Mary Rogers (music), Marshall Barer (lyrics) and Jay Thompson (book). Dec. 3—19, 2010: A special holiday treat for the entire family -- a delightful musical comedy version of the beloved fairy tale The Princess and the Pea.

And in 2011, we present …

Uncle Vanya: By Anton Chekhov. Jan. 28— Feb 13, 2011: This bittersweet comedy about dysfunction and longings is as fresh and relevant as anything being written today.

The Rainmaker: By N. Richard Nash. March. 11—27, 2011: A self-professed “rainmaker” comes to a drought-stricken ranch to work his magic on the clouds -- and a lonely woman.

The Cripple of Inishmaan: by Martin McDonagh. April. 29—May 15, 2011: Set on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland in 1934, this is a challenging comic tale with twisted humor and a surprising and moving ending. Word arrives on this island that a Hollywood movie crew is coming to a neighboring island to make a film. Many of the inhabitants are anxious to audition for it, including young Cripple Billy. Billy's motley group of friends mock him, but he has a stubborn Irish streak in him! The show is rich with eccentric characters and equally eccentric situations.

Othello: By William Shakespeare. June. 10—26, 2011: Love, jealousy and racial hatred swirl wildly throughout this monumental master-work.

Cabaret: Book by Joe Masteroff. Music & Lyrics by Kander & Ebb. July. 15—31, 2011: In 1931 Germany, the Nazis’ rise to power spares no one -- not even the performers and patrons of the Kit Kat Club. Hit songs include “Willkommen,” “Don’t Tell Mama” and, of course, “Cabaret.”
